Title: How STRONG is Ronnie Coleman V Leonidas Arkona?
Post by: affeman on April 07, 2021, 12:25:17 PM
I remember when everyone's jaw was dropping like 15 years ago about Ronnies strength features. Nowadays his lifts don't seem to be anything special anymore, just shows how much the sport has evolved in the past 2 decades.

This guy did a comparison video, and a 22 yr old german Powerlifter (lifetime natty) basically equals or beats prime Ronnie in almost every lift.

Powerlifters have been stronger than Ronnie since Ronnie started lifting.

Are you retarded?

This powerlifter guy isn't dieting for a bodybuilding contest and basically running on fumes (as far as carbs go).

And the reason people were marveling at Ronnie is that most of the poundages he was using was working weights, not one rep maxes in a competition (notwithstanding that Ronnie was a powerlifter).

Plus, he could lift what this fellow, Arkona, does back in 1994 when he was much lighter than Arkona is now. The video you featured say Ronnie hit 700 on the deadlift at 242. That's almost as good as what Arkona does at nearly 300 lbs.

It's amazing how strong natty's are nowadays because of grass fed beef and organic eggs.

Just think, Ronnie won the Mr. Universe as a natty.

X2

Ronnie was doing heavy weights for working sets, 1-2 wks out of the Olympia

12 reps with 200 pound db’s on flat with ease

495 bent over rows for 10 with ease

315 barbell military press for 10/12

All done with single bf levels, show time condition

Ronnie wasn’t even concentrating or training powerlifting style for years at this point, very impressive still

This guy is as natural as a man’s cock being in another man’s ass.

That is to say, not at all.

The German is gassed to the gills.

He’s also unquestionably a stronger man than is Ronnie.

No disrespect to Coleman. Some of his accessory strength was mind-boggling.

Blacks, generally, aren’t on the same level as are whites when it comes to structural formidability and absolute strength.

P.S. Mr. German isn’t gonna have healthy knees if he keeps doing what he’s doing in that squat portion of the video. Anyone who truly knows squatting knows what I’m saying. Look at his knees travel during that lift. Brutal.

Then again, the guy’s shelf life as a powerlifter is not too lengthy, seeing as how he is gassing so hard, so young.

Coleman trained for bodybuilding and not powerlifting. I seriously doubt more than a handful could have trained with him on his bodybuilding program. They would be exhausted after the third day.  If Ronnie specialized in powerlifting I have no doubt he would have been one of the best of all time. Yes, I know he used drugs.

Ronnie didn't diet as strict as most bodybuilders. He didn't go low carbs. Dude was even hammering bbq sauce with every meal all the way through contest prep.

He probably burned that calories from that BBQ sauce within 10 minutes of stepping in that gym of his.  ;D

Whoever made that video doesn't know a damn thing.  Ronnie was never supposed to be strong or train for strength as a bodybuilder.  And that Arkona isn't going to have a career at all.  Watch for a quad blowout to end that.
